There are several new configurations for both the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar and the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar. They have updated components, but the computer design is unchanged.

The starting price for the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is $1,799, the same as before. It now can be configured with quad-core Intel chips.

The entry price for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with Touch Bar is $2,399, also unchanged, and it comes with a six-core Intel processor.

Here's how Apple summarizes the specs:

Apple says its battery-life estimates are unchanged.

The new computers are available Thursday to order through Apple. Stores will get them later this week.

One big update is a "third-generation keyboard" that Apple says is capable of quieter typing — which would fix one complaint with the current MacBook Pro keyboards. The other main complaint, which has spurred class-action lawsuits, is that it's fragile and can feel "sticky."

Apple also updated its embedded ARM chip that controls the Touch Bar, Touch ID, and Siri voice assistant. The new chip, T2, also installed in the iMac Pro, can activate Siri by saying "Hey Siri."

Apple also updated the laptop displays with True Tone, which the company says will deliver more natural color.

The entry-level 13-inch MacBook Pro without Touch Bar didn't get an update, nor did the thin and light MacBook or the more inexpensive MacBook Air.
